Breitling Navitimer World (Latest Addition)

[dddrees]

My first and only Breitling. The Breitling Navitimer World. I considered getting a regular Navitimer for my last watch and decided to get a Pam000 instead. So when I saw the Navitimer World, I just knew this one was the one for me.

I like history of this watch, the connection to flying, the slide rule function, the chronograph, and the GMT functionality with the red fourth hand. At 46mm it's the biggest dial I currently have on any watch, but it really doesn't wear that large on my wrist.

Eric, thanks and the red details is the first thing I liked about it. It doesn't feel to thick, and I think that is because it has a larger diameter.

Thanks Chris, filled out the warranty card, can't wait to start recieving the little goodies. Actually the watch is what I really want,but the AD did throw in Breitling the Book. I read a good portion yesterday and I will be working my way thru it the next week or so.

Should be a hat first, then a pen with case and a wallet. Some folks have received a leather flight jacket!!!! I never got that far myself.

Very nice piece, Dan. I've got the Navitimer Olympus, but that red GMT hand looks really great. Enjoy it.

Thank you, I am enjoying it a whole lot. When I first looked at Breitling watches I never believed I would want one. But you know thats exactly why I am enjoying this so much more all of the time. The beauty of the different types that are availible. It's just so cool.

Actually I got lucky. When I got back to the store on Saturday, they had sold the one on the Croc. The one on the Leather Calf was still there. I dont know why but I just liked it more on the Calf. They might have made the change for me, but it wasn't necessary.

This one I think is just so much better for me than the regular Navitimer, it just was meant to be.

Congrats, Dan. Didn't you just get the PAM000 a few weeks ago? At any rate, wear both in good health!

[boogiebot]

i love the navi world its just such an iconic breitling piece. plus i think that its very reasonably priced for what it is.

Edit- congrats and enjoy your new piece.

Thank you. Yes, and actually I intended to get the Navitimer instead of the Pam. However when comparing the standard Navitimer to the Pam I wanted the Pam a whole lot more. Then a couple of weeks later I saw the Navitimer World and not only is it as Navitimer the additional features and size where something I just had to have.

Thanks Richard. Yeah I am really glad now that I didn't get the regular Navitimer like originally planned. So far I have been really blessed. At times I just happen to stumble upon or just luck out and get the watch that I really like.

This passion as I call it is just so amazing.

I'm usually not a fan of Breitling, but I'm kind of liking this one... Don't know if I'd spend the money though - I'd want to put it all toward a Rolex!

Yep, thats how I first thought. But this one kinda grew on me.

I now have 5 Rolex watches and I wanted some other things as well. However Rolex will probably always be my favorite brand.

funny how that works. i have a couple of lings and im looking to add my first rolex. variety is the spice of life right?

The world is a nice large size watch that is still classic and if you have 5 rolexes im guessing this is a nice welcome to add some depth into your current rotation.

Yes it definitely was nice to get this one as it is trully different than anything I have currently. I do have a couple of JLCs, a Speedy Pro, and an IWC. So variety is trully the spice of life.

sounds like you are enjoying the spice of life my friend. out of everything you own how do you feel your new world stacks up to the rest?

It's not a tool watch like my Rolex watches, it's not a dress watch like my JLCs, and it doesn't look or feel anything like my Pam or my Speedmaster. I got it because it wasn't any of these things.

However it works perfectly for me so it stacks up there perfectly with all the rest of the watches I own. That is the reason I got it in the first place.
